Abstract

This study examines the transformation of contract law in Indonesia in response to the increasing prevalence of digital agreements and automated contracts, particularly smart contracts. The central issue addressed is the adaptability of conventional legal paradigms to digital interactions, wherein agreements are frequently formed and executed through code without direct human negotiation. Employing a normative-qualitative method and a comparative conceptual approach, the research identifies key challenges and legal gaps in the recognition, validity, and enforcement of digital contracts. The findings indicate that, although digital contracts have gained some legal recognition, existing doctrines remain anchored in traditional principles, which are inadequate for regulating autonomous contract execution and digital evidentiary mechanisms. The study's contribution lies in proposing a paradigm shift: contract law must evolve beyond merely accepting digital formats to reinterpreting core principles—such as consent, freedom of contract, and legal certainty—within algorithmic frameworks. This necessitates a reorientation of legal thought, recognizing technology not only as a medium but as an influential actor in legal relationships. The study offers a critical theoretical and regulatory framework to support the development of responsive and equitable contract law in the digital age.

Abstract

This study examines state legal responsibility in addressing corporate- driven climate violations in developing countries, focusing on the gap between normative commitments and actual enforcement. The central question is how state liability should be constructed to effectively regulate corporations that contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. Using a juridical normative and comparative approach, the analysis covers Indonesia, Brazil, and South Africa to identify similarities, differences, and weaknesses in integrating international principles into domestic legal systems. The findings reveal that while national laws recognize the duty to protect the environment and uphold human rights, enforcement remains fragmented, symbolic, and subordinated to short-term economic interests. This creates a structural accountability gap that facilitates corporate impunity, compounded by power imbalances, inadequate institutional capacity, and the absence of robust extraterritorial enforcement mechanisms. The novelty of this research lies in an integrated framework combining state responsibility, corporate accountability, and climate justice, emphasizing extraterritorial obligations and independent national climate adjudication mechanisms. This model operationalizes climate justice as a binding legal standard, harmonizes domestic laws with international obligations, and improves access to justice for affected communities. The tangible output of this study is a normative–comparative regulatory model and policy recommendations for legislators, environmental law practitioners, and international organizations to reform legal frameworks for corporate climate accountability in developing countries. By bridging the gap between norms and practice, the framework offers both conceptual contributions and practical guidance for legal reform, ultimately promoting sustainable development grounded in ecological protection and intergenerational equity.

Abstract

This study examines the juridical analysis of land rights over reclamation areas in Batam City, with a case study of PT. Pasifik Karya Sindo. The core issue lies in the legal status of reclaimed land, which is not yet comprehensively regulated under Indonesian law, leading to legal uncertainty for both business actors and local authorities. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches. Data were collected through literature review, analysis of relevant legislation, and examination of legal documents. The findings indicate that reclaimed land essentially remains part of state-controlled coastal areas under the Basic Agrarian Law and sectoral maritime regulations. However, the granting of land rights over reclaimed areas requires clearer legal foundations to avoid conflicts with the principles of legal certainty and justice. The case of PT. Pasifik Karya Sindo illustrates the regulatory disharmony between the authority of the Batam Development Board and the local government, which has resulted in delays in the legalization of reclamation land rights. This study recommends regulatory synchronization between the central government, the Batam Authority, and local government, as well as the formulation of specific regulations on the management of reclamation land to ensure legal certainty and prevent future land disputes.

Abstract

This study examines the mechanism for resolving land tenure issues within the framework of Forest Area Structuring (PPTPKH) in Karimun Regency. The central problem lies in the mismatch between community land tenure and the designation of forest areas, which often generates legal as well as social conflicts. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, complemented by empirical data through interviews and document analysis at the regional level. The findings indicate that the implementation of PPTPKH in Karimun Regency faces several challenges, including regulatory disharmony between central and local governments, limited spatial data, and weak institutional coordination. The resolution mechanism applied involves administrative and technical verification of land claims, assessment based on principles of social justice and legal certainty, and granting legal access through forest area release, land-swap schemes, or the allocation of land rights under agrarian law. However, the implementation remains suboptimal due to overlapping authorities and limited institutional capacity. This study recommends regulatory harmonization, strengthening land and forestry databases, and enhancing the role of local governments in the PPTPKH process to achieve a fairer, more transparent, and sustainable resolution of land tenure issues.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the crisis of legitimacy in international trade law within the framework of international law, focusing on the U.S.–China trade war and its implications for third countries, particularly Indonesia. The research addresses two main questions: (1) how do violations of international trade law principles manifest in the U.S.–China trade war, and (2) what are the impacts on the economic stability and legal standing of third countries in the global trade system? A normative juridical approach with qualitative analysis was employed, examining legal instruments such as the 1994 GATT and the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU), supported by empirical trade data. The findings reveal that unilateral actions such as the Section 301 Tariffs and China’s retaliatory measures violated the principles of non- discrimination and Most-Favoured Nation. The trade war illustrates the ineffectiveness of WTO dispute settlement mechanisms and the erosion of compliance by major powers. For countries like Indonesia, the effects include export decline, supply chain disruptions, and investment uncertainty, though opportunities emerge through industrial relocation. The study recommends structural reforms to the WTO system to strengthen the rule of international law, restore legal certainty, and ensure justice in global trade governance amid the rise of protectionist policie.

Abstract

Through this study, the author explores the challenges and potentials that arise from granting mining licences to religious organisations, including potential conflicts between economic objectives and moral values held by religious organisations. On the one hand, mining activities can provide economic opportunities for religious organizations and neighbouring communities, but on the other hand, these activities risk damaging the environment and contradicting religious teachings that prioritise nature conservation. The article also identifies the importance of clear policies and strict supervision to ensure that mining activities by religious organisations are not only financially beneficial but also socially and environmentally responsible. Thus, this research uses a normative method to seek truth coherence, with a statutory approach, conceptual approach and case approach. In conclusion, this article recommends the need for stricter regulations, transparency in the licensing process, as well as strengthening dialogue between the government, religious organisations and the community to ensure the sustainability of these activities in line with existing religious and social values.

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of Article 27 of Government Regulation Number 9 of 1975 concerning the Implementation of the Marriage Law related to the procedure for summoning defendants whose whereabouts are unknown in divorce cases in the District Court. This study uses a normative juridical method with a regulatory and conceptual approach to assess its conformity with the principles of simple, swift, and inexpensive justice. The results of the study show that Article 27 normatively serves to maintain legal certainty and prevent the obstruction of judicial proceedings due to the defendant's absence. However, regulations that rely on summonses through conventional mass media reflect a legal framework that is no longer fully relevant to developments in information technology and the digitization of the judiciary. This includes the lengthy summons period, which can take months, slowing down the court proceedings. In the context of modern justice, which is characterized by the implementation of e-Court and e-Litigation systems, a progressive interpretation or regulatory update is needed so that the summons procedure remains effective, efficient, and in line with the principles of access to justice and procedural justice.
